Chrysopa coloradensis occurs in Canada, in British Columbia, on Vancouver Island and in the southern interior. All Canadian localities reported in literature have been authenticated. All specimens reported here are documented with data in Garland (1982, 2000), or as new records (above). Based on label data, adults have been taken at light, and they have been associated with Artemisia , and Pine / Pinus ponderosa .
